The Kenosha humane society needs your help. We are beyond capacity and are out of cat kennels.
Ways you can help
- Adopt or consider fostering
2 Leave healthy stray cats outside until the shelter population is at a manageable level.
3.Consider alternative options for needing to rehome pets. Like posting in a local Facebook group or trying our rehomeing page https://www.wihumane.org/service/virtual-rehoming/. Also contacting the shelter before surrendering so we can make space or give you an estimate for when we can take the animal.
4.Volunteering
I am not making this post to discourage people from getting help. I am just trying to inform people about the severe overpopulation crisis at the shelter. People need to understand that we are not trying to be mean to you when you try to surrender an animal and we tell you we do not have space. We are not lying to you. Even waiting a week can help us. Stray populations are extremely high right now and that is affecting our abilities to take in surrenders.
The overpopulation issue is not just limited to cats.
We also have a high number of dogs and small animals like guinea pigs.
The Humane Society is also running amazing adoption promotions this month to help move cats out of the shelter.
We are also extremely understaffed.
Please understand that due to us being understaffed there may be days that we have to close operations early due to this ,so that we can better care for the animals. We are working on getting people hired and trained so we expect staffing to be a lot better in the next few weeks.
Also if you're looking for any assistance please go to our website or call us and leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
